I would like to be able to do a recursive rmdir. This would save typing
for the cases where I want to remove a whole empty dir hierarchy.

Currently I do this:

rmdir --parents foo/bar/baz

I'd like to just do this:

rmdir --recursive foo

or this:

rmdir -r foo

Both of these commands should be equivalent to but significantly less
typing than this command:

find foo -depth -type d -empty -delete

Thanks for the suggestion, but there's no need
to add an option to rmdir, when you can accomplish
the same thing with a simple shell function or alias:

  rmdir_r() { find "$@" -depth -type d -empty -delete; }

Of course, you might want to extend that to give
its own --help and to diagnose a missing argument.
